I Like It Here: Life Stories of Humboldt's Bob McKee

I Like It Here: Life Stories of Humboldt's Bob McKee

from $31.49

Compiled and edited by Ray Raphael. Born in Whitethorn in 1929, Bob was raised in Eureka during the Depression and World War II by his grandmother, who lived on a Civil War widow’s pension. He joined the Navy, then returned to Southern Humboldt in 1957 to raise a family and put his stamp on history. “Godfather” to the back-to-the-land movement, Bob purchased failing ranches and logged-over forests, then settled some 900 families on the parcels he developed. Bob was a master story teller with 92 years of life stories to tell. Collectively, they form both a personal history and a record of particular places in distinct historical times.
